AAO Approves L-1A, Says CSC Failed to Consider the Needs of the Organization

On certification from the California Service Center (CSC), the Administrative Appeals Office approved a new office L-1A extension for a function manager, finding that the CSC erroneously focused almost entirely on the size of the U.S. company without considering the reasonable needs of the organization as a whole. The term “function manager” applies generally when a beneficiary does not supervise or control the work of a subordinate staff but instead is primarily responsible for managing an “essential function” within he organization. See section IOI(a)(44)(A)(ii) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. § IIOI(a)(44)(A)(ii).

The Charges:

Administrative Appeals Office approved a new office L-1A extension for a function manager.

The Verdict:

The petitioner established that the beneficiary devoted more than half of his time to managerial duties.

I highly recommend Johanna for any and all immigration related legal assistance.
Johanna handled our case for my family of three, with all successfully reaching citizenship. Worth noting is that our submission required additional clarification, and Johanna went above and beyond to ensure all proper docs and supporting information was properly formatted and submitted.
